There's a magic school at Orchard Towers and I tried being a magician for an hour – here's how it went
CNA Lifestyle recently stopped by Institute Illusions to see if we could unlock our inner David Copperfield. Or at least do a card trick.
At Institute Illusions, a newly established magic school and theatre in Orchard Towers, aspiring magicians can acquire various skills in a condensed format. Award-winning magician Tommillusions, the founder and instructor, guided a visitor through the process of performing a card trick, leaving the participant impressed and eager to learn more.
The one-hour lessons cater to children aged six to twelve, focusing on teaching two magic skills in each session. Although the author struggled with the techniques due to poor motor-skill coordination, they managed to create a satisfactory magic act and even forgot about learning a second skill. Despite the participant's shortcomings, the experience at Institute Illusions was enjoyable and left them with a newfound appreciation for the craft and curiosity about the workings of magic.
